EquiTheory104. Self-Care in HealingFor the fastest episode turnaround in the history of ETP, I present to you a ‘sode filled to the brim with human-related content. This one has very little to do with horses, and everything to do with some potentially relatable hardships that have been going on in my life as well as how I’m dealing with them + what self-care practices have made all the difference for me. I hope this episode helps someone out there in one way or another, either way, thanks for listening 💙🔥

A human who lacks motivation to work with horses in the winter.

EquiTheory102. Shaping Better +R Trainers (ft. Adele Shaw)What a wonderful lil episode this was! I hope it gave you guys some solid ideas of how we can work to improve the way that +R trainers present themselves, the science of behavior and training, and how we can all work to better the lives of our equine companions. Guest, Adele Shaw, and I attempt (as much as our very tangent prone brains allow) to cover a shaping plan from top to bottom explaining the bad and correcting for the good. Except this shaping plan isn't for the horses this time; it's all about us, the positive reinforcement...

Adele Shaw is an internationally recognized mentor and trainer focused on creating a positive relationship between horse and human through science-based training and care practices. Drawn to horses labeled as “trouble makers” and “lost causes” from an early age, Adele has always had a passion for understanding the “why” behind behavior and a deep desir...

EquiTheory99. I Can’t Believe What’s HappenedWelcome one and all to this absolute albatross-infested podcast episode. I hope you brought your opinion oars because you’ll be treading and wading through several of mine this episode (canoe, think canoe, that’s the metaphor). But, never fear, I assure you, my dear faint-hearted listener, that there are countermeasures in place such as… whacky, upbeat moments, cool, fun, funky fresh announcements, and silly goofy pony clips and tales sure to sustain your attention and bridge the gap between the entertaining podcast you all know and love, and that which lies beyond.

It seems that may be my permanent state of being and perhaps I ought to just accept that whenever I think I’ve figured something out, the universe will grant me something even more unexpected than the something I thought I’d figured out.

EquiTheory7. Behavioral Problems & +R SolutionsIn this week's episode, I discuss a few of the behavioral issues that I encountered with Mac, my RRP project. He was shut down, jumpy, and afraid, so instead of punishing for the undesirables, I changed the question and environment. I offered more control to a horse who previously had none, and in doing so, worked through some very common behavioral problems without resorting to the normal means. I focus on "girthy" horses, biting the halter, biting at people, and head/ear shyness. Be sure to give it a listen and let me know what you think! Do note t...

EquiTheory3. What‘s the Point of the Clicker?+R trainers often use clickers or a specific sound to “mark” a behavior.
The marker, or bridge signal, bridges the gap from the behavior to the reinforcer. The click becomes a secondary reinforcer because the horse knows that his reward is coming. Trainers use bridge signals to make the training more precise and communicate information to the horse that the behavior he was performing at the time of the click earned him the reward & that that reward is on its way!

EquiTheory2. What is Positive Reinforcement (+R)?This week's episode discusses the four quadrants of operant conditioning, positive/negative reinforcement/punishment (+R, -R, +P, -P). I delve into what each of the four means and what it looks like in horsemanship & training. I hope you find this episode useful and fun! Be sure to tune in next week for the episode where I'll be discussing the purpose of the clicker.
For more explanation on the quadrants, check out the glossary page https://www.equitheory.com/positive-reinforcement/glossary and the +R resource page https://www.equitheory.com/positive-reinforcement!

EquiTheory1. Welcome to Equine in Theory!Welcome! I hope that you guys are as excited as I am to embark on this new platform's journey. I couldn't be more thrilled to finally be doing my own podcast. I'm not sure of its future, but for now, I am here to share my journey as a horse trainer. Not in the traditional sense of the word, but instead the sense that every time I'm with my horses, I'm teaching them something new, and they are teaching me many "somethings new!" I hope you guys will tune in to each week's episode. I'm aiming for a new...
